Cassidy watched as the ship dropped out of warp a minute later and began to approach the ship’s coordinates. Moving from the back of the bridge closer to the viewscreen, she could see the shape of the Miranda-class ship take shape before them. It was clearly still intact, but there were very obvious signs of damage on the hull, including weapon scorching. It had clearly been attacked.

“I’m detecting residual energy signatures from a mix of weapons, but one IDs as Tholian. All major systems or nominal, including life support. I’m not detecting any life signs, but all escape pods seems to be missing,” Vora reported. At least if the crew had abandoned ship, there was hope. But what happened and where did the crew end up?

That doesn’t sound right, Johann thought. Why ditch if it’s still serviceable? And why didn’t the Tholians take the ship with them? He remembered their unusual habit of spinning energy webs to capture entire starships that they thought were violating their space.

Abrams spun, determination in her blue eyes. “We can go over in EVAs, get to the bridge and see if we can retrieve any log and sensor data,” she said hurriedly. “That would tell us at least the basics and give us a direction to go in next.”

“Doesn’t make too much sense right now, the logs could be helpful.”

“Sure,” the Captain said somewhat absently as he kept thinking the scenario through.

=/\= Avik, this is the Captain. Report to the Bridge. =/\=

Better have her lead it, and stay to captain the ship if we can move it under its own power back to base. Though Sullivan will have to take a look. Assuming it’s even in that good of a condition… maybe I’m getting ahead of myself here…

“Sorry, systems are nominal, but they still abandoned ship? Does it look like it’s still capable of warp speed?”

“I see damage, but it doesn’t look like it has compromised the superstructure. If the warp drive is active, she should be able to travel.” Steven tried to get a computer link. “I’m sending the prefix code, see if I can get control of her remotely.”

OOC: So, I made one mistake in using the word nominal. Or it was autocorrect. I’ve no idea at this point. But the ship is damaged, though it is intact. I’ll amend things a bit to help this.
IC:
The code should have worked but the computer didn’t respond.

Vora frowned slightly. “Getting further readings as we get closer. Looks like life support is non-existent. There’s significant damage to the EPS, and while the warp core is intact, without significant repairs I doubt the Tian An Men is going anywhere soon. The weapons signatures are strange too. They are mixed. I don’t really think it was multiple ships. Or at least not more than two, but there are more weapons signatures than would be accounted for unless the ships were using using cobbled together systems they had patched together. We don’t usually see mixed signatures like that unless you have a group of ships cooperating or we’re talking mercenaries or pirates. And the damage was targeted. Effective and quick is my guess.”

Pirates… Johann thought. Well, sounds like we better scrap the prize crew idea… if we can’t get it moving quick than we’d better not stick around…

For her part, Abrams ignored the tone in Vora’s voice, filtering everything simply as information. It was either that or have a breakdown and right now they were too close. She looked at the Captain with an expectant look as if to say ‘I’m ready to go’. She didn’t want to waste any more time. As it was, too much had passed.

~Vora & Cassidy

The Captain noted the look from Abrams but did not use it to rush to the decision that he had already reached.

“Mister Marsh, why don’t you and Miss Abrams beam over and find out what you can about where the crew went? Go quickly, I don’t want to stay sitting here any longer than necessary with hostile ships about.”

“Go to Yellow Alert,” he ordered the officer at Tactical. The bridge lighting changed slightly along with the mild electronic screeching tone that was intended to raise alertness.
